    LIVE from the Camino HELP!! Nowhere to stay tomorrow

    The other option to taking a taxi is to get a local bus. These are really comfortable and cheap.

    Valcarlos albergue

    Yes, definitely open. Stayed there on the 11th April. Cost was Euro 15. If coming from the D128 don't walk all the way to the top but take the path towards the Arretxe Fronto-Pilotalekua black and white building and turn right, Albergue is at the bottom of the steps

    December Camino?

    Walked in December twice - in 15/16 there was a lot of mist and rain and visibility at times was very short especially on the higher ground. In 16/17 after a cold start each morning it warmed up and there were blue skies every day - managed to get to SJPP without getting wet ! So weather can...

    How many stamps are required to receive a certificate of completion Compostela?

    Yes 2 stamps a day if you are walking from Sarria , but only 1 if starting from SJPP. Feel free to get extra if you want - I got additional ones at the last stop in France and also at the church in Navarette. They leave a lasting memory when you look back at the Credential after you have finished.

    Newbie planning to walk Camino de Santiago

    I walked Burgos to Leon last December. Weather was good for time of year and not particularly cold. There were very few Pilgrims and I was the only one at Castrojerez one night. Take plenty of warm cloths as some of the places will be unheated or the heating turned off at 9pm or so. The only...

    Newbie planning to walk Camino de Santiago

    Easiest way is flight to Madrid, then either bus or train to Leon. Alsa Busses run several times a day from Terminal 4. Trains also run from Chamartin station which is directly linked to the airport. Time between airport and station is 12 minutes and trains run every half hour or so.
